AIME 2019

A reflection from students involved in the 2019 AIME program…

AIME is a fun place to be. Last term we had an opportunity to cook delicious Indigenous and African food which we've never had the chance to do at school before. It has been great to connect and make friends with other students at McClelland and other schools around Melbourne who we can relate too. At AIME we get to go to Deakin University for Program Days where we do many activities - some of our highlights are: Indigenous Traditional Games, Art from the Heart (painting/murals), interacting with students from other schools, African drumming and live performances from Indigenous and African artists. We have learnt to recognise and respect not only our own cultures but others as well. By coming to AIME we are also reminded to take pride in our culture and are empowered to stand strong in who we are.
